Roemheld has extended its rotor lock range to offer modular components that can operate in extreme conditions across all industries. Originally designed for use during the maintenance of on- and offshore wind power plants, the hydraulic and electro-mechanical components have since been used successfully in the medical and sheet metal forming industries and in applications including freeze-drying plants in the food industry and as door locks in amphibian vehicles.

Roemheld has launched an electronic pressure sensor that offers stationary and mobile measurement of rotating or hard-to-reach sections of hydraulic clamping fixtures. Said to be ideal for applications where wired connections are impractical or too expensive, the sensor uses radio transmission with a free-field range of up to 300m.

Roemheld has introduced rotor locks that are designed to deliver increased availability and simplified maintenance to wind power plants. A special coating prevents the locking bolt from rusting when not in use for a long period and non-contact position monitoring avoids mechanical wear and extends the life of the component.
